Audeze LCD-XC Review (Closed-back Headphone)

[Ken Tajalli]

Hi!
I bought a used LCD-XC in pristine conditions.
Despite this my headphone have a strange channel imbalance only on bass between 20 to 50Hz.
Left sub bass is 1.4/1.5dB more than right.
Earpads are slightly soft now.
I measured this on a flat plane with proper precautions.
Does anyone exibit the same behaviour?
From Amirm measurements seems the same.
Measurements attached.

The side with more bass is leaking/venting from the back-cup.

I am going to add to this and say you might also want to check the screws on the spokes, the one between it and the earcup. If it is even a little loose on one side you won't get a proper seal.

I got mines used as well and after a few weeks it completely wouldn't seal, it took me a bit to realize it wasn't secure anymore. The screw was bent on my end somehow so I had to replace it.
